A muslim who raped a 13-year-old girl he groomed on Facebook has been spared a prison sentence after a judge heard he went to an Islamic faith school where he was taught that women are worthless.

Well that makes it okay. He only raped her because he thought women were worthless.

Adil Rashid, 18, claimed he was not aware that it was illegal for him to have sex with the girl because his education left him ignorant of British law.

Well he didn't know it was wrong. That means it's not a crime. But good luck for anyone who leaves a pig's head in front of a mosque and claims not to know it was wrong.

Two tiers. One for Muslims. Another for natives.

Yesterday Judge Michael Stokes handed Rashid a suspended sentence, saying: ‘Although chronologically 18, it is quite clear from the reports that you are very naive and immature when it comes to sexual matters.’

Earlier Nottingham Crown Court heard that such crimes usually result in a four to seven-year prison sentence. But the judge said that because Rashid was ‘passive’ and ‘lacking assertiveness’, sending him to jail might cause him ‘more damage than good’.

He seemed assertive enough when he raped a 13 year old girl. I don't think he did that passively, despite his claims otherwise. And 4 to 7 years in prison might work wonders to educate him about rape.

Rashid, from Birmingham, admitted he had sex with the girl, saying he had been ‘tempted by her’ after they met online.

Like all good Muslims, it's always the fault of the little girl.

In other interviews with psychologists, Rashid claimed he had been taught in his school that ‘women are no more worthy than a lollipop that has been dropped on the ground’.

This is also apparently the view of the UK legal system when Muslims are involved.

When Judge Stokes said Rashid ‘must have known it was illegal, unless he was going round with his eyes shut’, defence lawyer Laban Leake said reports suggested Rashid had a ‘degree of sexual naivety’.

‘It is not too far to say that he may not have known that having sex with a 13-year-old girl was illegal.’ Judge Stokes sentenced Rashid to nine months youth custody, suspended for two years, along with a two-year probation supervision order.

‘It was made clear to you at the school you attended that having sexual relations with a woman before marriage was contrary to the precepts of Islam,’ he said.

So Rashid, instead of being punished for rape under British law, is being handed a suspended sentence for premarital sex under Stokes' convoluted notion of Islamic law.

It seems that one of the more urgent laws needed now is a law barring Islam, Islamic law, cultural background or anything of that sort from being introduced as exculpatory in rape cases.
